Chapter 1045 Refining a High-Grade Immortal Pill

A moment later, he shook his head and remarked with some regret, "Though the 8 Trigrams origin shares 1 essence, it has manifested as 8 immortal fruits. To refine them into a single elixir—how exceedingly difficult."

"Perhaps only by reaching the former Immortal Eldrin's alchemy proficiency could it be refined. My current mastery of alchemy is still far from that level."

With these thoughts in mind, Eldrin had no choice but to suppress his impulses.

Lyra had been pregnant for several centuries, and the infant was expected to be born within 3 1000 years. In such a short time, Eldrin had no confidence in elevating his alchemy skills to that level.

With no other choice, he could only suppress the thought and step out of the cavern abode.

At this moment, Qing Ji and Lyra (Person Name) were still in seclusion, refining the Pure Yang Immortal Ascension Pills. Eldrin (Person Name) did not disturb them and flew directly to the spirit herb garden.

灵药园之外，宴紫姬正在照料仙药，见Eldrin (Person Name)到来不由微笑道：“夫君。”

"Hmm."

Eldrin nodded slightly, noticing that Banquet Purple Princess's spiritual energy had grown significantly weaker compared to past days.

Among his several wives, Yan Zi Ji (Person Name) possessed the lowest innate talent and comprehension. Even with his unwavering support, her cultivation had barely managed to break through to the 9th-layer of the Nascent Soul stage.

Due to her insufficient cultivation, the immortal infant in Yan ZiJi's womb was developing rather quickly. The fetus had already formed halfway, and it appeared it would be born within a 1000 years.

"Time is running short. The matter of refining the Innate Divine Embryo Pill should be put on the agenda."

A thought flashed through Eldrin’s mind, and he quickly supported Yan Zijie, speaking with concern, “Zijie, you are with child now. There is no need to expend too much effort on the spirit herb garden.”

A warm feeling blossomed in Yan ZiJi’s heart, and she replied with a gentle smile, "We cultivators are not like mortal women. Pregnancy will, at most, leave me slightly weakened—hardly to the point where I cannot walk."

"This spirit herb garden holds the key to our future paths of cultivation. A little extra care is but a small effort to expend."

A flicker of warmth stirred within Eldrin (Person Name), prompting him to inquire, "How have the aged herbs in the spirit herb garden fared these past years?"

Speaking of the aged medicines, Yan Zi Ji said delightedly, "Among those 30-8 aged medicines, 7 have already successfully advanced in grade, and it appears the rest will soon undergo metamorphosis as well."

"Very well."

A faint smile graced Eldrin’s lips as he promptly made his way into the spirit herb garden.

Among the matured immortal herbs were 1 Dragon Phoenix Blood Fruit and 2 stalks of Immortal Grade Pure Sun Fruit, all of which Eldrin collected.

Before parting, he paused in thought, then plucked 2 of the 3 Nethergloom Blossoms to take along with him.

Returning to the alchemy chamber with several immortal herbs, Eldrin immediately began refining the Dragon-Phoenix Immortal-Forging Pill.

The pure yang flames born of the Primordial Chaos Law were profoundly mystical, making alchemy an effortless endeavor. Merely 7 years had passed when Eldrin witnessed the successful completion of this batch of transcendent pills.

This batch yielded a total of 5 immortal pills, marking a significant breakthrough.

Just then, Lyra (Person Name) emerged from her secluded cultivation and arrived at the alchemy chamber. Seeing the 5 immortal pills he had refined, she couldn't help but remark with delight:

"A single cauldron yields 5 pills. Your alchemy skills have improved tremendously. Perhaps you may attempt refining a high-grade immortal elixir now."

Eldrin did not feign modesty, nodding calmly in acknowledgment.

His talent was truly extraordinary, and having successfully refined 7 or 8 furnaces of immortal pills in such a short time, his alchemy skills advanced by leaps and bounds.

1 must understand that immortal elixirs are precious and exceedingly rare. Many immortals who have practiced alchemy for a dozen or 2 100 1000 years might not have refined as many celestial pills in total as Eldrin (Person Name) has over these past several centuries.

Putting away the Dragon Phoenix Immortal-Forging Pill, Eldrin retrieved the Profound Yin Flower and the Pure Yang Fruit.

Witnessing this, Lyra (Person Name) couldn't help but slightly narrow her eyes as she remarked, "What are you..."

"I wish to give it a try."

Gazing upon the Pure Sun Fruit and Mysterious Yin Flower before him, Eldrin spoke in a faint tone.

Of the 2 celestial herbs, the Pure Sun Fruit contained the power of pure yang, while the Mystic Yin Flower possessed the subtlety of profound yin.

It can be said that both immortal herbs were exceptionally rare treasures, either of which could be refined into a single invaluable immortal elixir.

Eldrin had no pill formula that used the Mysterious Yin Flower as the primary ingredient. Thus, he resolved to combine the Pure Yang Fruit and the Mysterious Yin Flower, attempting to refine them together into an even more profound immortal pill, hoping to break through the limits of his alchemy.

He was not acting on a whim; he had long possessed similar experiences.

Back in the Violet Realm, Eldrin had already refined several precious elixirs using the Pure Sun Fruit and the Netherbloom cultivated by Elder Qing as primary ingredients.

At that time, the Yin-Yang Profound Mystery Pill and Yin-Yang Primordial Void Pill refined by Eldrin possessed astonishingly miraculous effects, far surpassing the Pure Yang Pill and Pure Yang Primordial Void Pill of the Violet Realm in potency.

Having now ascended to the immortal realm, Eldrin delved into 2 volumes of alchemical scriptures. His mastery of pill refinement advanced by leaps and bounds, compelling him to attempt forging an even more miraculous immortal pill using the Pure Yang Soul-Enhancing Elixir as its foundation.

Understanding Eldrin's intention, Lyra gave a nod of confirmation. "Since you wish to give it a try, I shall assist you from the sidelines."

Eldrin (Person Name) chuckled upon hearing this. "With your assistance, my confidence has grown considerably."

Having made up his mind, Eldrin immediately began concocting pills.

As this was his first attempt at crafting an immortal elixir, Eldrin proceeded with extreme caution throughout the refining process.

In the blink of an eye, several decades had passed. On this day, a dull thud echoed from the alchemy chamber. Eldrin gazed at the charred residue inside the pill furnace, a trace of helplessness flickering across his face.

This batch of immortal pills was a failure for Eldrin.

"To merge the forces of Yin and Yang is actually this arduous?"

Staring at the dregs in the cauldron, Eldrin couldn't help but murmur under his breath, his expression grave and somewhat helpless.

Unlike the creation of the Yin Yang Taixu Pill in the Purple Realm years ago, Eldrin had only recently attained immortality and his foundation remained somewhat shallow. In the end, this attempt at alchemy still ended in failure.

"The key to merging the forces of Yin and Yang lies in that fleeting moment of equilibrium during pill formation."

"But how can 1 maintain this balance?"

The failure of this batch of immortal pills did not discourage Eldrin.

He gazed at the immortal elixir in deep contemplation, then picked up the remaining Sunfruit and Moonbloom to begin sensing the law energies contained within.

"Pure Yang Power and Mysterious Yin Power represent the 2 polarities of yin and yang, fundamentally opposing forces that exist between heaven and earth."

"This kind of law power is exceptionally overbearing. Attempting to forcibly merge them through 1's own primordial spirit energy is an immensely arduous task in itself."

"Perhaps I should change my approach—overcoming hardness with softness..."

Suddenly, a brilliant light flashed before Eldrin’s eyes as he placed both the Sunfruit and the Shadebloom into the Dragonvein Obsidian Cauldron.

Under Eldrin's refinement, the 2 immortal herbs soon transformed into a sphere of pure yang immortal liquid and a mass of profound black pure yin substance.

Eldrin forcibly channeled his immortal essence, compelling the 2 types of elixir fluids to coalesce.

The 2 types of elixir liquids repelled each other, faintly carrying the risk of mutual destruction—this was precisely why the previous batch had failed.

But at this moment, Eldrin was brimming with confidence. With a focused mind, he channeled his Mysterious Prime energy, deftly pulling and swirling the 2 streams of pill liquid in a single motion.

In the blink of an eye, the 2 elixir liquids began spiraling around each other, swirling and intertwining until they merged into a single immortal pill resembling the Taiji Yin-Yang symbol.

"It is done!"

Gazing at the immortal elixir before him, Eldrin felt overwhelming ecstasy surge through his heart.

Before him, the immortal pill had taken form through the union of yin and yang, resembling a perfect Taiji symbol of swirling opposites. An astonishing medicinal potency radiated from it.

Gazing at the immortal elixir before her, Lyra was both immensely delighted and utterly astonished as she exclaimed:

"Superior-grade Immortal Pill!"
